Pearl Harbor Day...

Today they have finally broken ground in Hawaii for a memorial to honor the USS Oklahoma and it's crew members who died from the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

It has been 65 years since that tragic day...

"...a day that will live in infamy".

That very morning, on December 7, 1941, the Japanese ambassadors were kowtowing and smiling at our folks in Washington...

Talking like they were going to cut a deal.

A peaceful agreement.

All the while they knew what was fixing to transpire in Pearl Harbor.

It just seems to me that we just don't ever get any smarter...

No matter how many history classes we take...

No matter how many lessons we have to learn from.

It looks like to me that the same type of rhetoric is going on in the Middle East.

They're all smiling at us...

Talking about "peaceful" agreements.

Why can't we feel that knife that is in our backs?

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out.

By the way...

A town in Somalia has passed an edict that demands that you pray five times a day.

I don't think there is any way of telling what faith the anti christ will come from ...and I think God has done that on purpose, to keep us from trying to anihlate each other. Just my own thinking out loud.

You know ...there were a lot of things your post was meant to arrouse emotionally, TJ.

But.

For me, it arroused stark fear ...

I forgot my SIL's birthday yesterday. So did my husband (her brother)

My untreated, unstable, bipolar sister in law ... oh crimany.

You know, we've often used the history of Dec 7 and the smiling one moment bombing us the next to describe his sister. We just gave her reason.

That's a thought. But it's my feeling that the anti-Christ will be so deceptive and appealing to the masses that he may be someone like the newly elected Muslim senator that we now have in the White House.

You do know he took his oath of office on the Koran, right?

Hey Peggikaye...

uhmmm... I'm not sure if ~diplomacy~ will work in your case or not.

But I understand your fear of the "nuclear fall-out" that can arise from those situations.

About Me

After graduating from college "the first time", I moved to Oklahoma where I lived for 30 years. In the fall of 2007 I moved "back home" to the Texas Hill Country. I write various summaries about numerous subjects, ranging from veterinary medicine to political viewpoints. I also like to take photographs. A journalist at heart, I don't pretend to have all the answers... just a whole lot of questions.
